What is "Pastry Chicago" ?

Mission Statement of Pastry Chicago.


" Pastry Chicago is a group of passionate people who love and enjoy all forms of pastries. Pastry Chicago is made up of professional pastry chefs, students of the art of pastry and people who enjoy eating and the visual art of pastry. The goal of our group is to experience the Art of Pastry in all its glory at educational fun events across the city of Chicago and at the same time promote the fantastic talents of all the Artisans who work at the craft of producing beautiful delicious pastries "

Kind of like how in Taiwan or Japan, we have the 'Gateaux Association', and here in Chicago we have 'Pastry Chicago'. I truly enjoy these types of events which are all for the love of pastries and culinary. These organizations bring the community closer together by the means of sharing delicious pastries and food, and friendly competitions with awesome prizes!

The previous event hosted Pastry Chicago was pie contest and sponsored by California Raisins. I had the opportunity to volunteer for this wonderful event and got to witness the judging of the pies by Pastry Chefs through out Chicago and also got to test the winning pie!
